Why aren't you getting a college degree?

[WellHungOver]

A college degree wouldn’t have done me any good. I wouldn’t go back now to get a lower paying job.

[iloveus]

What's a college degree for?

[DolphinPilot]

Huh. I used to work a job with a few people with 4-year degrees that didn't correlate to the job. They got paid the same amount as I.

Maybe if they showcase some people who get paid more..?

[jonmcd46]

most of those jobs are strange, but it kinda makes sense. If you have a job that doesn't require a college degree, and you spend some time in it, eventually when it comes down to promotion time you have the advantage, even if the degree didn't teach you chit. If two people are equally good workers, a degree could be the tie breaker.
For dishwashers and chit, there has to be less of them with a college degree, so we're comparing a small sample size to a large one... The dishwashers with a degree were probably hired to be head dishwashers for example, thus their salary is higher

[helpmee]

Those bumps have nothing to do with the degree
It is the people

Dishwasher.
You have dishwasher 1 who decided to not go to college or did not have the opportunity and possibly does not speak English
You have dishwasher 2 who decided and had the opportunity to go to college

Dish washer 2 probably
Lives/works in a higher income area
Speaks English
Is washing dishes for a friend of the family restaurant
Has more drive to improve speed

[nosirrahx]

Why aren't you getting a college degree?

Because I already retired.

[N0stradamus]

Gotta keep it real: my college degree really is my ticket to a decent salary while doing almost ZERO work.... I'm working from home, which basically means I spend my days MISCing and jerking off to pr0n...

[Eatforgains]

because I'm self employed

[dbluevette]

Because i'm an elected official holding a political office getting paid by "educated" tax payers. Lmfao

[iloveus]

gonna quit and become a firefighter

probably get gfs easier too

Whether it’s Fabio the Firefighter or the sexy surfer who braves the 20 foot waves in frigid waters or the solider coming home from Nowhere-istan, displays of bravery turn women on more than anything else. If you don’t believe me, go to your local book store and look at the romance novels. Romance novels are basically porn for women, and you’ll find that they all feature warriors, soldiers, bad boys, race car drivers, football players, firefighters, jet pilots, and enter-your-super-sexy-and-dangerous-occupation-here.

And not only are these men racy and exciting, but they’re usually brash and debonair — they say what they want and go after it without apology.

But what does this mean for a couple regular guys like you and me?

It means being nervous around her is going to be a pretty big turn off. Afraid to talk to her, afraid to ask her out, afraid to kiss her, afraid to take her home — Fabio the Firefighter wouldn’t be afraid to ravish the **** of her, so why should you?

What it means is that despite every woman you’ve ever heard complain about men hitting on them, bold displays of interest actually work in your favor the majority of the time, as long as they’re demonstrated in a manner that is not too threatening or disrespectful.

Some examples (for better or worse, these are taken from experience):

Telling a woman she’s beautiful and you’d like to get to know her better. GOOD IDEA

Whistling at a girl on the street and calling her names. BAD IDEA

When a woman seems interested in you, just grabbing her and trying to kiss her. GOOD IDEA

Following a woman for three blocks telling her what you want to do to her sexually. BAD IDEA

Telling a woman you’re kissing where and how you’d like to have sex with her. GOOD IDEA

Touching a woman inappropriately when you don’t know her or have not received interest from her. BAD IDEA

Men typically underestimate how forward they can be with women. And they vastly underestimate how effective being forward and open about their sexual desires is with women who are attracted to them.

A proper and honest sexual expression is powerful, and in our society, rare. In fact, there’s a LOT of societal pressure to hide and disassociate from our sexuality. Many of us grow up with a great deal of sexual shame. And not only does this keep us afraid of expressing our sexual desires openly, but it creates an unhealthy neediness and worship of sex.

Because honest and respectful demonstrations of sexuality are so rare, not only are women aroused by it, but it often hits them like a breath of fresh air.

[MrAWatts]

Because if I had to take a pay cut to a masters level income i would rope.

[ClivesTriceps]

Because I'm a knuckle dragger. I prefer more labor involved jobs than sitting on my ass in a boring cubicle. Don't need a degree for that.

[backinthegymbro]

Fear of failure.

[BeanGainClovis]

It's not for me, I guess I don't really fit in those statistics.

I also didn't want to get scammed by the price gouging that has occurred.

It doesn't make me insecure either, I've made more money at times than many people who got degrees.

Education shouldn't be about money, that's the reason why tuition is overinflated along with other higher education costs.

If you base your whole life around making money then you will be a miserable person.

Education is valuable, but college is not for everyone.

I did delete some old posts but I promise it had nothing to do with you

[WiseOldApe]

Because dedicating your self to studying a degree for 3-4 years is a big commitment and if you s*ck at studying, so can't focus, it's even worse.

IMO the only thing stopping somebody from being educated is a lack of focus and ability to concentrate - then again some things are just too hard to grasp, even when it's interesting.

[Jasonw1178]

LOL @ Dishwaser.

Ironic, if you get a degree in Gender/Women's Stuides you probably will be a dishwasher except you will only make minimum wage.

Can't have everyone with college degrees, we need more people in trades to keep this country going. Our infrastructure is falling apart.

This idea that everyone should go to college put a generation of people in ridiculous debt, unemployment, and definitely underemployment.

For many people their motivation for education is just cash many dollars, which is the presumption that OP is making by posting this.

Not everyone wants to dedicate their life to serving a company for the highest possible salary.

Education should be about enrichment as well as cultural and scientific progress, but people think it's all about chasing a check.

And look where that got us, deep corporate corruption of the university system and massive student debt.
